This is a small helper library, whose purpose is to ease your field creation process when using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to register fields via PHP.

Normally, ACF allows you to create fields via PHP, as you can read at https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/register-fields-via-php/. However, this process requires you to have a unique field key for each field, which is afterwards used in conditional logic statements and generally, this can be quite inconvinient.

This helper assists you by automatically generating field keys based on the name of a fields group and the name of the current field.

One of my other plugins, the Twig Framework for WordPress is a perfect match for this plugin, as the framework has built-in support for content blocks, widgets and more, which rely on this class.
